We want a first descriptive visual of the distribution of Covid-19 deaths in Konstanz and the surrounding districts. Calculate the number of Covid-19 deaths (death_rate) by population (population) and multiply with 100,000.

You can use the dplyr function sf::bind_rows() to combine the two spatial objects, “Konstanz” and “Konstanz Surroundings”.
